Playing Catch Up on my 30 Day Challenge

Day 9: How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like

I pray every day for a long, happy, healthy life with Brandon.  That we can figure out our financial situation, that we can live within our means but comfortably.  That we will be a good influence on Molly, that I will learn to love her as my own.  That I will fulfill my professional dreams, that I will do something I'm proud of.  That we'll buy a house somewhere off the beaten path and enjoy life and not take it too seriously.  I hope that my mom will move to MO so I can see her more often.  I pray that I'll put good energy out into the world and that good energy will come back to me.  I just want to live life to the fullest and learn how to not sweat the small stuff.  As Brandon always tells me...I just want to relax.

Day 10: Discuss Your First Love and First Kiss
These aren't necessarily the same person.  By far my first love was Michael Shaffer.  We were fifteen and I had never felt that way before.  He loved me for everything I was and everything I wasn't.  Or as much as you can love someone at fifteen.  But we were intense.  We spent every waking hour together or on the phone.  He opened my Dr. Pepper's before dinner because he knew I liked it better flat, he wrote me poetry, and bought 10 packs of flavored Mentos then took them all apart and put together one pack of just the purple ones because they were my favorite.  He made me feel complete and he made the beginning of high school great.  He was a big part of me and how I came to understand love and I'm grateful for him.  We still talk and check on each other's family.  I wish him nothing but the best.

I honestly don't remember my first kiss.  I would say my first "real" kiss came from the son of one of the ladies at daycare.  I developed a lot faster than most girls and while I'm no looker now, I turned heads when I was younger.  He was significantly older than me but I remember that we kissed while on a skating field trip and I thought I was the be all end all with the older man checkin' me out!!

Day 11: Put your iPod on Shuffle and list the first 10 songs.
I don't really use my iPod, so I'm going to pull up iTunes and do this:

1. Tall Tall Trees-Alan Jackson
2. Bonafied Lovin'-Chromeo
3. On My Way-Ingram Hill
4. All I Want (remix)-Toad the Wet Sprocket
5. I Play the Road-Zac Brown Band
6. Sooner Surrender-Matt Nathanson
7. The Christmas Song-Nat King Cole--I love love love Christmas music! :-)
8. How Far We've Come-Matchbox Twenty
9. New Kind of Cool-Rescues
10. All I Want to Do-Sugarland

That is actually a pretty good representation of my tastes.
